Going back into the 70s for one of those few disco tunes I love:

Title: You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
Artist: Sylvester
Label: Fantasy Records

Genre(s): Disco
Year released: 1977

Before RuPaul, there was Sylvester. At a time when the US seemingly didn’t chastise gays as much as they did in the 80s and beyond, Sylvester represented a celebration of gay pride infused with the high energy of disco. Even from my hetero viewpoint, you just gotta love that soaring melody and voice with every chorus.

Interesting trivia note: This song is what inspired New Order when they composed their anthem Blue Monday.

Had a crappy day yesterday due to a client, some Nitzer Ebb anger always makes it better:

Title: Getting Closer
Artist: Nitzer Ebb
Label: Mute Records

Genre(s): Industrial, Electronic Body Music (EBM)
Year released: 1990

Most know of Nitzer Ebb for anthems such as Join in the Chant and Murderous, but Getting Closer was always an underrated one in my book, and one of my favorites. It was the opening track for their album Showtime, and it was a fitting opener for that album. Just that barrage of rolling sound in the chorus always had me.
